talents of this guy but I just didn't get it. Some ten years passed before I caught on to what he meant. "Perfectly Good Guitar" was the record that broke my barrier, and I even went back and got the three previous albums. Also got to see him live in New Orleans when he was in the "supergroup" Little Village (go ahead, look it up, I'll wait)...
He writes good pop/country/rock songs, swaying from style to style. He's had more success from others doing his work, i.e. Jeff Healy "Angel Eyes" for one example. "Open Road" has a decidedly country bent to it, so if you're a fan of the genre, you owe yourself a listen to one of the great songwriters of the last 35 years.
